I'm connected to OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 over SSH with X-forwarding. Consider the system completely fresh ("server" option) apart from
- sshd enabled
- installation of
kde-cli-tools-5in order to getkdesu - installation of
dolphinandkonsole
I'm able to launch apps like konsole and dolphin using kdesu
However, when I run kdesu yast2, after entering the password into the prompt that appears, no YaST window appears. Nothing appears in the console after my command, and the logs are as follows:
sudo cat /var/log/YaST2/

What could be causing this silent failure of any GUI to appear? Are there any other packages that should be installed, or any other logs that can be checked?
